2026 Annual · 12th · Environment and Society

What is the impact of environment on food?

Show model answer

The physical environment determines available food resources: fertile plains support staple grain crops (wheat, rice), coastal/riverine areas rely on fish, mountainous/cold regions depend more on livestock and dairy, and arid/desert regions rely on hardy crops and animals — so climate, soil and terrain directly shape a society's diet and food habits.

What is meant by culture?

Show model answer

Culture is the entire way of life of a people — the man-made part of the environment, comprising language, beliefs, values, customs, knowledge, art and technology — which is learned and transmitted socially from one generation to the next.
